The EF-2000 Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine, supersonic, canard delta wing, multirole fighter of EU origin.
Design[]
The EF-2000 Eurofighter Typhoon features a canard delta wing configuration, which provides excellent maneuverability and agility, especially in close combat scenarios. The airframe is primarily constructed from carbon-fiber composites and lightweight materials, which enhance its performance and reduce radar signature.
Firepower[]
The EF-2000 Eurofighter Typhoon features an internally mounted Mauser BK 27mm gun, which is a revolver gun with a linkless-closed ammunition feed system. It has 13 hard points for weapons: four under each wing and five under the fuselage. An Armament Control System (ACS) oversees weapon selection, firing, and status. Depending on its role, the fighter can carry various missiles, including combinations of BVRAAM, AMRAAM, ASRAAM, cruise missiles, anti-radar missiles, and GBU-24 Paveway III.
Avionics[]
The EF-2000 Eurofighter Typhoon is equipped with a comprehensive suite of sensors and weapons, making it highly adaptable for various mission profiles. The aircraft’s main sensor is the Captor-E AESA radar, which provides long-range detection and tracking of aerial targets. The radar is complemented by the PIRATE (Passive Infra-Red Airborne Track Equipment) sensor, which offers Infrared Search and Track (IRST) capabilities.
Mobility[]
The EF-2000 Eurofighter Typhoon is powered by two Eurojet EJ200 afterburning turbofan engines, providing a maximum speed of 2,450 km/h and excellent thrust-to-weight ratio, enabling short take-off and rapid acceleration. The Typhoon’s advanced aerodynamics and engine performance allow it to supercruise at high subsonic speeds without afterburner, conserving fuel and extending mission endurance.
Role in H.A.W.X.[]
In the near future, Cole "Arrow" Bowman flew the EF-2000 during a sneak attack on the DDI Base.
Members of Polaris flight flew them during the Training Day mission, using simulated weapons.
